Electronic Direct Response: Subscribed Newsletters
Electronic newsletters should combine design standards from
both website design and direct response marketing ― particularly
since most e-newsletters link directly to GE websites. The following
are directional guidelines, in addition to those contained in the
Newsletter guidelines (check Brand Central).
• GE Inspira is a proprietary typeface and likely not recognized by
most personal computers. Therefore, Arial font is recommended
in communications.
• Design navigation bars within newsletters to visually resemble
those used on GE websites.
• Ideally, visual images in the headline or opening section of an
e-newsletter are cropped and in the style defi ned by the
advertising guidelines.
• Copy and headlines should be justifi ed to the left. Use of
sidebars for navigation, surveys, and search functioning should
be located to the right, similar to direct response letters.
• Where there are inset photos or links, position these so that
copy can be justifi ed left.
• Use of organic shapes as design elements and call-out boxes is
encouraged.

facilities in relation to your routes. Will you be able to maintain your trailers cost-effectively
when they are on the road and far away from your distribution facilities?

offers mobile maintenance units ensures that your trailers are maintained in a timely manner
– with little downtime. With the challenges of the driver shortage and rising fuel costs
impacting fleets this can be another important way to help reduce costs and keep your
